There is no call for insults. I agree with you that they oughtn't be coming in illegally, and something ought to be done about it. Maybe I should have framed my response differently. I in no way excused the actions of those who are breaking our laws.
I only object to the (Wait for it...) hatred for Mexicans in some of these posts. Some folks talk about Mexicans like Osama talks about Jews. They just absolutely spaz out and spam every other thread talking about "the invasion" and how it is going to destroy the country, how Bush sucks because he won't kill em all with MOABs. That sort of attitude is revolting, and it isn't what we are about. When I agreed with JR, that is what I was trying to point out.
Illegal immigration causes problems, but it is NOT going to destroy the country. Nuclear weapons might, socialism might, but just having more brown people will not, on its own, destroy the United States of America. Yeah, it's a problem, but without spending untold billions more dollars (we're talking 1/4 of the DoD budget here) to watch both the Mexican and Canadian borders along each and every mile, there just isn't much that can be done outside of what the President has proposed. That isn't being like Barbra Striesand, that is being a realist.
You can bet your kerry that the MSM is watching us like hawks, collecting all of the off-the-wall nutty comments. Sometimes I wonder if these people aren't just trolls trying to plant crap like this on us, should we ever become too influential.
Most of these guys who are frothing at the mouth don't give a rat's democrat about the law. They just don't want their precious "white culture" diluted. Being married to an immigrant, you should be able to see my point. Whenever you see people wrinkle their nose at your wife's accent, or stare accusingly, remember how it feels. That sort of madness will never do us any good.
What most of us are EXTREMELY concerned about it those willing to fracture every law in the books to get here then expect to get their hand outs. What most of us object to is a border so porous during a shooting war with Islamic Extremists that they could be sneaking TANKS across our border for all we know...
And people like you want to sit there and make excuses. Not to mention insinuating that those against unrestrained illegal inflow as being racists. Thanks. That oughta help things along...
Criminals are criminals, no matter what the color. Most illegal aliens happen to be Mexicans...its just a fact...sorry. If you're all for "sensitive" justice for illegals, perhaps Kerry is your man. Unless your retiring soon, most of us will continue to work and pay taxes so these criminals can have it nice and easy in the U.S., at our expense; that don't fly with me, and it don't fly with the majority of Americans IMHO. And lets not even get started talking about what our kids will be left of this country for our kids to deal with, if the trend continues.
An example: "Let's post a pair of guards every quarter mile! Yeah, yeah!" Well, there are 18,500 miles of frontier (1500 Mexico, 4000 Canada, and the balance coastal), which means we'll need 74,000 guard posts. To have one person on duty 24/7 requires having five employees, which means we'll need to hire 740,000 guards, not to mention support staff, prisoner pickup & transport, etc.

Pretty much - look at the way they scream and shout whenever someone proposes a federal citizenship card (a.k.a. National ID) for them, too...
You're dead wrong about that..

So the majority of FReepers are Trools's eh??? Ayup...Thru 94 posts, I hadn't read a racist one til I got to yours...We're talking about terrorists entering the country thru the open borders and illegal people sneaking into the country stealing our taxes thru social services and our jobs...Not to mention, adding up votes for the Democrat Party...You're on the wrong topic...
